Ryan Air Force Unmanned drone flown remotely from USA flies high over truck in Afghanistan and sees something amiss . Some brave RAF type then reaches for phone to ring someone in Afghanistan to tell them to tell someone else to stop the truck. Wow this read like a real life Dambusters script .

* The RAF 'pilot' was bravely battling indigestion from a heavy lunch and burped a couple of times . Despite this, he managed to pick up telephone and pass the info .

* Taken from the DFC citation for Squadron Leader Darren Kyle Wibblebottom

They did their bit, but FFS, why do they have to overplay their contribution? Seems to me they would not have even been on target if the USMC and ANSF hadn't of pointed it out, and then all they did was follow it about. The troop's would have found the compartment anyway!

Ignorance and fear create the gods, enthusiasm and deceit adorn them, and human weakness worships them. Its been the same throughout history. When men destroy their old gods they find new ones to take their place. What makes you think this is any different?
